When the right 'stokes issues of race' they usually are simply telling the truth.
It’s true. The left is famous for this game. Another version is when somebody quotes (or sometimes rewords, but with the same meaning) something somebody on the left has said. Then mock outrage, forgetting the original source. If you want a real challenge to your sanity try living with a roommate or somebody who does that, not just with politics, but with a ything.

About 10 years ago one of my clients who is a wonderful person but a liberal had a daughter who was doing some kind of charitable(compassionate—I can’t think of the word I need here) in Afghanistan. There had just been some high-profile beheadings. She remarked that [people in the middle east] were”upset about the reaction to the beheadings.” I remarked that I was upset about the beheadings myself.
